The Cobo CLI provides a powerful feature to tail real-time logs of your API requests. This is particularly useful for debugging and monitoring your API usage in real-time.

​
Tailing Logs

To start tailing logs, use the logs tail command: 
$ cobo logs tail
This command will start streaming logs in real-time. Each log entry will display detailed information about the API request, including the request method, endpoint, status code, and more.

​
Filtering Logs

You can filter the logs based on various criteria to focus on specific types of requests. The following options are available:
  • --http-method: Filter logs by HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST)
  • --request-path: Filter logs by request path
  • --status-code: Filter logs by status code
  • --api-key: Filter logs by API key
  • --ip-address: Filter logs by IP address
For example, to tail logs for POST requests only: 
$ cobo logs tail --http-method POST

​
Limiting the Number of Logs

By default, the logs tail command fetches 3 logs per request. You can adjust this using the --limit option: 
$ cobo logs tail --limit 5
This will fetch 5 logs per request.

​
Log Details

Each log entry provides detailed information about the API request:
  • Log ID
  • Timestamp
  • HTTP Method
  • API Endpoint
  • Status Code
  • IP Address
  • API Key
  • Query Parameters
  • Request Body
  • Response Body
This comprehensive information helps you understand exactly what’s happening with your API requests in real-time.

​
Stopping the Tail

To stop tailing logs, simply press Ctrl+C in your terminal.
The logs tail command requires appropriate authentication. Make sure you’re logged in and have the necessary permissions to access the logs.
By using the logs tail command, you can gain valuable insights into your API usage, helping you debug issues, monitor activity, and ensure the smooth operation of your Cobo-powered applications.
